The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of a drumlin. There is local information about three limestone uprights holding up a large capstone. Only one slab (H 0.45m; L 0.9m; Wth 0.55m) is now visible as the monument was disturbed in the 1930s. Its precise location is not known.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
